Re: ATT Cable Modem + 'Basic' Cable ? Techs Please
How about the opposite situation, connecting to the internet with only a basic cable subscription? I recently moved into an apartment with an active basic cable subscription and was able to connect to the internet for about a week, although I hadn't gotten around to telling att to change my internet account info. Then at some point I was unable to connect to the internet, even though the modem lights are normal and I can renew my IP address. Haven't yet had time to wait through the holds on the phone with customer service to update my account, but am curious as to how these signals work and what allowed the internet connection to work at first. Thanks in advance for your technical explanation... |

| When your old address was disconnected, the modem died along with it. The modem is tied to SAS and CSG via address. Re-register your modem with the new account number to your new place and it will work. You need to sign up for service at your new place. |

| Cable Modem + 'Basic' Cable ? Techs Please
How about this: when i opened new internet access account with COX, they told me that i MUST at least get Basic Cable. Fine. Do not not for what reason, but tech did not installed hi channels filter (24 and up), so, we enjoyed service of extended basic for a little over a year... Some how they found out that i dont have a filter... Can somebody tell me how? And then they came out and installed that filter... now my channels end at 23  I know that i can just remove that filter, no problem, but i have couple of questions before that. Can i take a splitter, split incoming cable line in 2, put filter they installed on one and second branch connect to all my TVs at home. Can they still find out? Is there any way to make them think that filter is still installed and have all channels?
Hope somebody answers these questions  |

Guess what they know this and most people think all they have to do is bypass the trap. Alot of Cable CO's are now putting the trap 30 feet in the air soo guess what unless your not scared of getting caught or afraid of 30 feet you best not mess with it on the pole. |
